This is a cafe for the tender souls of the city. The rustic interior brings some French vibes and freshly baked sweets arranged on the bar create the perfect image of an idyllic countryside life. A gift to those wishing to have lunch in a completely relaxed atmosphere, while staying in the centre of Riga.

Mazā Kaņepe is one of those places that has gained its recognition in the blink of an eye. Mostly thanks to its big brother Kaņepe’s Culture Centre (check the Kaņepes Culture article), that’s just a stone’s throw away and has already proved to be a very much liked entertainment venue among locals. However, Mazā Kaņepe has taken a slightly different track, forgetting about parties on Friday nights and instead offering delicious meals accompanied by a decent cup of coffee.

For already some time Mazā Kaņepe has become a favourite lunchtime spot for many locals. And why not? Food, coffee and homemade cakes – also known as the essentials for a decent working day.
